Come on, I think we shouldn't compare the outcome of Magi chapters based when another manga was released the same time as Magi. How can you say that a chapter was "good" or "bad" just because some of our favorite manga was or wasn't updated? For me, that just shows how misloyal you are to your fandom...

Okay, putting that aside, Scheherazade's words really intrigue me. I wonder what she meant by "He is a real 'magi'" I start to wonder if she was a descendant of a Magi, or Aladdin's words are what a magi should be. And Mu might not still know that Aladdin is actually the fourth Magi.

Didn't she say that bcause there are supposed to be only 3 Magis. She knows the other 2, so a 4th could be consider fake until Aladin proved the countrary

I wouldn't be surprise if Scheherazade is not a magi but a strong mage, because nobody confirmed that she is a magi, i still believe that aladin that is the 4e magi.
Maybe we don't know the third magi.

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

I think she said that before because she wasn't sure if Aladdin was truly a Magi or not, until she was able to observe what he's capable of. I think there are the 4 Magis, but it's more common knowledge that there are only 3: Yunan, Judar, and Scherry. So having a 4th Magi is quite a shock to a lot of people.

Its not so much the threat of isolation but the fact that given how little respect they have for the goi the types of technologies they develop and their espousal for a segregation are generally bad ideas that are best not spread. Along with the weapons they have in stock being weapons of mass destruction, and potentially whatever gambit they have in desperation, are probably what he's referring to. Like I've said before Magnostadt is a dangerous country given how it is and it is certainly not one you want to fall into the hands of major warring empires.

After my second time reading the chapter, i realized the first point is what Mu (Scherry, Moga) argued as how he isn't different than other magician as using power to stop the war, then Aladdin' statement is that nobody will die. So next chapter the true fight begins.

Scherezade using Guidance of Ruhk to prevent an empire fall is quite egotistical, like a Zagan but in Magi version. This will make clear her intentions of not choosing a king but an empire.

I agreed your second point Hamy, that alone is the reason why Aladdin decided to go to Magnostadt after the Princess's trouble. Still i can't stop associating with how Solomon's ages Magicians were so strong that the great king's utopian country was erradicated, something about Dark Ruhk should be the answer.

Human works by mood state, it really stab my heart when Tite doesn't draw. I hope this isn't a problem while there it isn't a comparison.

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

For some reason I don't think Sherry is a Magi either. Like someone said above it was never confirmed that she was truly a Magi but she did show the ability to be one so I don't know.

This page sort of confuses me. Mu doesn't confirm that the person he was talking about was Sherry so I feel like there is a third Magi we don't know about. Someone please clarify to me if they think his silence was a yes to that question!

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

I don't understand how you guys suddenly could postulate a theory that Scherry is not a Magi. I'm almost sure that she is a Magi, there are several characters which are more experienced and knowledgeable than Aladdin confirmed that Scherry is indeed a Magi. Unless we got trolled hard by Ohtaka. I believe the one who is referred by Mu is not Scherry, but probably Yunan.

Even Mu did not confirmed that sherry is a magi, he was talking about yunan.

Is it possible that Sherry is the strongest Mage allive, if you think about it if you live for 200+ years you can learn al lot of magic/magic formulas and wisdom etc.
She can be a ex magi? Maybe she kept the third magi in prison? And she is taking credits of the name of magi

Here I don't think he confirmed that Sherry can raise dungeons. He said that she raised dungeon CONQUERORS.

@Doraku The only reason why I think Sherry isn't a Magi because it was never confirmed. It is true that many characters said she is a Magi but I will still be skeptical until it is confirmed in the manga. Maybe she is just a really powerful magician.

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

Interesting. It seems I was the one who is being ignorant.

Well, the fact that her physical appearance does not resembling a 200 year old granny at all is dubious already. :cookiehand

The most intriguing part among the facts which you mentioned is that I even forgot Sinbad didn't see Scherry directly, I wonder if this can be considered as legit foreshadowing of the real figure of Scheherazade or just simply a red herring. Well, in the omake of the birth of Sinbad, Scheherazade appeared too, and I'm convinced that her face was not really different from the current Scheherazade.

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

I still believe that Scherry is a MAGI. It is said that she has been able led various generations of the Reim Empire, and raise dungeons, which only a "magi" can do.
Not only her, but Yunan and Judar were able to raise dungeons too, these were all proofs that the three of them are Magis.

We still cannot judge that a Magi is a "Magi" based on their age, or perhaps, Magis are immortal-like beings or their aging process is slower than any normal human being. Scherry is already 200+ old, while Yunan was in his same state when Sinbad was born. Judal hasn't seemed to age when Sinbad conquered his dungeon too.

Aladdin is clearly the 4th Magi, "The Magi that has been kept in the Holy Palace" as the Banker/Isnan have said.

If Ohtaka had trolled us, then....:twitch

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

That was some display of skill fro Aladdin; I'm happy that he improved so much.
About the rest, for a moment I tought that Alibaba absorbed the flames shot by the three Ugos towards the shore, but instead it was Aladdin himself that stopped them.
Oh well, now that the Kou Empire will come, I guess that we will see Alibaba soon.

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

I guess that only the 3 Magi and those that know Aladdin are aware of the existence of the Fourth Magi and the rest of the world is still unaware of his existence.

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

I'm really thrilled to witness what Alladin will show in the upcoming chapter.
I believe he might use Solomon's Wisdom, thus deffinetly prooving that he is a Magi to everyone.:)

About the other three Magi... Well, I believe it's quite adamant that Sheherizada, Judal and Yunan are all Magies, but the World still doesn't know about Alladin, so now he will be finally officilly reknown as the one and acknowledged by every country.
Though it seems that in a near future he might have some sort of a duel with Sheherizada.

Re: Magi 174 Discussion/175 Predictions

posibility 1 --> Aladin is the 4. Magie

Posibility 2 --> Aladin is the 3. Magie

posibility 1 has SOOO MUCH MORE story to telling you could write whole books why there is now a 4. magie about but posiblity 2 is just a AHA effect not more..

so what do you guys think will the mangawriter use ? ... honestly guys no one with imagination would use 2 if there is a door 1
